BUT, LOVE...

I don’t even recognize
The world anymore.
The darkness is heavy;
The days feel like night.
I stare, blind, at a future
That doesn’t fit right.

Puzzle pieces out of place.
Worry lines that cloud my face.

Reaching.
Grasping.
Lifting my hands.
Unable to touch
What I can’t understand.

Fear
Runs deep.
I’m losing sleep.
Lost,
Pacing.
My pulse is racing.

The lack of calm
Hits my heart like a bomb.
In need of connection.
No sense of direction.

But, love...
Kindness.
Peeking through the cracks.
The warmth,
The light –
There’s no turning back.

We’re in this together;
Resilient and one.

With love
Grace
Peace
Patience...

Hope.

We will overcome. 🖤
